The beer: A traditional Belgian beer brewed in France. Taste it and you’ll believe us. Saison Saint-Médard is Belgian “saison” type beer (historically, we told us those kind of beers were served to refresh laborers during harvest). The color is amber. The nose make us think about caramel. When we taste it the strength of its bitterness of its sparkling foam impressed us. And…well we should warn you don’t shake it if you don’t want to see it explode… Yes literally when you open it and in your mouth. The after taste is rather sugary and slightly spicy. Delightful!

The little extra: This beer will make you feel like tasting (again) Belgian Trappists or “saison” beers. The strong taste might convince you that a stronger beer in terms of alcohol is not necessary to have afterwards.

Where we bought it: We recommend you to try this beer directly at the brewry la brasserie au baron located in the North of France. You can enjoy it at the brewry’s tavern terrace. Otherwise “Saison Saint-Médard “can be purchased at the French liquor shops chain Cavavin. We’re sure you can find it elsewhere. Please let us know.
